This is a perfect opportunity for an enterprising Uber driver. Just think of all the money you will earn with your personal fleet of taxis.
A friend of my wife is interested in clearing her property of six, yes SIX, Austin FX4 taxis, that her late husband accumulated while traveling back and forth to the UK for business.
One is CA licensed non-OP, and just needs the A/C recharged. All the others "ran when parked".
I took these photos a couple days ago. The only thing that I know for sure is she would like to keep some of the UK license plates (for me).
DEAN. The title should be Austin's Taxis. (note the placement of the apostrophe indicating possession or ownership)
Just think of the ambience these would lend to your yard as Austin restored them and started his own fleet of grad party limos. Maybe make one giant stretch out of them all.! A Suber Duber Uber.
A Maserati Biturbo? engine in there. What a Splendid Idea!! I can't think of a wiser or more appropriate combination for years of trouble free driving pleasure.
Perhaps the whole lot could be considered as part of a commodities futures investment in ferric oxide. Or at least corner the market in taxibits.
I am relieved when I think of the work I have successfully avoided by not owning those future masterpieces.

We have all come to regret the cars that we passed up. I could have traded a tired Lotus for a blue Dino Ferrari, but it was "blue". Then there was the silver Aston Martin DB6 convertible that I passed up because it was "a convertible". Don't let this happen to you.
Instead of worrying about all the work, this is all about looking at the upside, and avoiding life's regrets.
If you need a shop recommendation, there is a well qualified British car guy in the Ventura/Market Street area that can help.

PS - On another note, scrap rates are $20/ton... act fast, there is almost $100 in cold hard material commodity value here alone.
